Nickels and dimes, memories and wines - she's on his mind
once again.
The same old stool, the same old fool; played by the rules,
but didn't win.
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose.
He tried forgettin', but he knows that it's no use.
Chorus:
He's got a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory,
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.
She was his girl, his only whirl, that string of pearls
that slipped away.
thousand dimes, a thousand times - he doesn't mind
what they say.
He fills the jukebox, and plays the same old song.
He fills his glass, and then he turns her memory on.
Chorus:
He's got a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory,
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.
He's got a fool hearted memory.
It won't let him see that she walked out the door.
He's got a fool hearted memory,
And he sits patiently here every night so it can fool him more.
